Derivan Painting Knife Set 5

The Derivan Painting Knife Set 5 is a versatile collection of painting knives designed for artists working with thick paints, textured mediums and expressive techniques. Developed in collaboration with Australian plastics specialists and practising artists, the Derivan Painting Knife Set 5 offers a balance of flexibility, strength and reliability for a wide range of studio applications.

Each knife in the Derivan Painting Knife Set 5 is made from a single moulded piece of plastic using advanced material blends that create a responsive rebound action. This gives the feel of a traditional metal knife while providing the benefits of plastic construction. These knives are ideal for spreading thick-bodied paints, building texture, mixing colours and applying mediums such as impasto and heavy gels.

The seamless design ensures the blade cannot separate from the handle, and since they do not rust, they offer excellent long-term durability. They are also easier to clean and more economical than metal alternatives, making them a practical choice for students and experienced artists.
